Never happen commercially.
Too many millions of jobs and trillions of dollars at stake in that industry.
They’ll never find a cure.

I believe a cure was found years and years ago, but for the reasons you mention, it’ll never, ever treat the public.

I feel the same way about AIDS research.

The new chemo drip is letting a bunch of these sit on your arm. Or even in your bed at night as you sleep.

Yes, like so many other medical “breakthroughs” we’ve seen reported over the years, this will disappear into a black hole.

Once again proving the poison is in the dosage.

It would be incredibly sad if these breakthroughs never hit the market because others are making too much money selling snake oil.
